finally! 1895 Nagant found.

[2meterB]

No accessories so I think the price was a bit high but condition seems excellent.

I think it's a 1943 Izzy but I don't know much about them.

[Gutter]

$200 is good as most people are asking $250 - $300 for refurbs now. If it's a non refurb then that's a steal. Where'd you pick that up?

[2meterB]

Local store in Folsom. Not sure how to tell if it's a refurbished one. I didn't look super close but it appears to predate import marka

[Grendl]

No import mark is huge in my book as they're usually VERY obvious and marring on these. Enjoy!

[chinaserf1]

Refurbs should have a mark something like a box with a hash mark through it.

Often like [ | ] but closed.

[Gutter]

You're telling me STS finally had something good? They have anything else in there worth looking at?

[2meterB]

They had a few cool old rifles there I didn't recognize. But I'm new to the c&r scene. I like to drop by there every other month or so.

Congrats on your wheel gun OP.

[Ferrum]

Nice find!

[Hardwarejunkie]

Nice find OP!
I have a 1935 Tula refurb.
I have found the ammo in the white box to be the WORST smelling stuff I have ever shot - I won't shoot indoors anymore.
Anybody else notice this?

[Flyin Brian]

That's a nice one! They are hard to find without an import mark, so that's a bonus. IIRC the Tulas are way more common, so finding an unrefurbed Izhevsk is pretty cool.

[NOTABIKER]

nice find, enjoy.

[2meterB]

I didnt' take a super close look at it, but I'll post some high res pictures when i pick it up in a couple weeks.

[DoddRod]

The wood grips look to be in decent condition. Mine have the Bakelite with wood backstrap and the wood looks like its definitely seen better days

[NOTABIKER]

WOW i thought these were still 100-150 in nice cond.
